An Analytical Study on the Co-Evolution of Central Black Holes and Globular Clusters System

This paper investigates the proposed relationship for mass of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in the nucleus of galaxy and the galaxy’s globular cluster system (GCs) properties. Recent observational evidence suggests strong correlations between the physical properties of SMBH and the overall structure of the galaxy’s host. Globular cluster systems have emerged as fossils of galaxy formation and dynamic evolution. We aim to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between the SMBH and respective fundamental galactic properties, with a particular focus on GCs, to understand the potential role of co-evolution between these two components. The present study analyzes a sample of 422 galaxies to investigate the correlation between the mass of BH and type of galaxy, dynamical mass, the mass of GC, the number of the GC, effective radius and velocity dispersion. Our results may represent indirect indications of the evolution history of galaxies and potentially SMBH growth.
